  3. SO HELP ME GOD


SO HELP ME GOD presents the remarkable story of Lena O. Smith, the first Black woman lawyer and President of the NAACP during the 1920s. The play highlights her personal journey, legal battles, and a landmark case defending an African American family against racial violence. Written by Lester Mayers, this powerful narrative not only explores Smith’s struggles against systemic racism but also sheds light on the broader challenges faced by women of her time.

History Theatre entertains, educates, and engages through creating, developing, and producing new and existing works that explore Minnesota's past and the diverse American experience. Its work provides a unique lens which links our past to the present, explores our common heritage, and illuminates our understanding of what it means to be American. Since its founding in 1978 by Lynn Lohr and Lance Belville, the company has staged more than 100 world premieres, working with nationally recognized playwrights including Jeffrey Hatcher, Eric Simonson, Kevin Kling, Craig Wright, Frank McCourt, Doris Baizley, Melanie Marnich, Kim Hines, John Olive, and Kira Obolensky. From a harrowing slave journey to St. Paul in Adrift on the Mississippi to an urban musical celebration of the Twin Cities in Snapshots: Life in the City, from the rock 'n' roll biography Buddy – The Buddy Holly Story to the dark, complex A Piece of the Rope about Minnesota's first public execution, History Theatre has moved audiences to rediscover, relive, and respect every piece of their history.

History Theatre is at 30 East 10th Street, St.Paul, MN.
